20150093509 | SUBSTRATE STAIN COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF APPLICATION - Compositions and methods for changing the color of non-wood substrates. A one step method uses a solution of a water soluble pigment or dye and a metal salt. The non-toxic solution can be sprayed on a primed or unprimed substrate without wiping. The method can produce an even color on a smooth substrate, or a simulated woodgrain pattern or color on a textured substrate. The composition and method can be used on substrates as varied as fiberboard, fiberglass, steel, vinyl, plastics, metals, concrete, brick, stone, and stucco. The composition can include a resin which is emulsified when added and subsequently demulsifies. A two step method includes the additional step of applying a gall ink to the substrate. The compositions can be distributed as kits containing multiple packages of dry or concentrated ingredients, which make the final composition(s) when hydrated. Simply changing one of the packages can change the composition's application method, application effect, or intended substrate, thus enabling the creation of a system with simplified inventory and shipping requirements. | 04-02-2015 |
